Foxygen - "We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic"

Foxygen has put out a new video for the title track from its latest LP, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, and it's a real trip. The duo appropriates recognizable old-school psychedelic visual effects--the graveyard setting evoking the LSD sequence in Easy Rider, in particular--but the twosome's immense energy and modern sensibility still come through strong, making for a captivating viewing experience rather than a tired one.

Like the video, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic is a thoroughly fantastic blend of nostalgia and modernity. Check out the review here:

Foxygen- "Shuggie"

Foxygen drops a strange video for the song "Shuggie," which features an array of characters who are completely infatuated with a mysterious black box. While there's no real explanation as to what makes the black box so damn interesting--or delicious--it does highlight the absurdity of obsessions people can form over objects. Props to Ulysses///Onasis on the video direction. They've also worked on some visual projects with Damien Jurado and Richard Swift

Look for Foxygen's next album, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, on January 22nd via Jagjaguwar. Check out my review of the band's Take the Kids Off Broadway EP right here.
